MSI - Optix MAG342CQRV

picked one up last week just noticed i have a stuck pixel tried to fix it be nothing seems to work so have to go through the pain of sending it back now. other than that loved it

I just got it and I am already in love with it.

I just get the same 2 week ago... wonderfull monitor. Unless you pay like 300dls more, you aren't gonna be able to find something really better. This is a new beast.

How does this compare to the MSI 342c? Just ordered one from eBay for $560

I run dual 34" 3440x1440 ultrawides (stacked) with a 32" tv and a 24" 1080p screen on the side. Pictured [here](https://ibb.co/fnRDJ6Z). Ill never not have an ultrawide. My only regret is the Alienware AW3418DW (top) only does 100hz (120hz oc ) and no HDR and the MSI MAG342CQR doesn't do good HDR at all but it does do 144hz.

In short. For me in my case no. I have both. An older MSI 34 VA 3440x1440 curved which I used to game on and bought a LG C2 42 Oled 2 years ago. Never would go back to the MSI for gaming. I just use it to work from home and slip it on the side whenever I want to start a Game. I know the MSI is not on oled but I love the size and the screen so much more on the LG. Plus the LG can do Ultrawide also which I use here and there for demanding titles and just because of better frames. If you can go 4K and have the hardware to do so then I would go 16:9. I don't miss the ultrawide and the 21:9 ratio at all.

I got the MSI MAG34(something something) in around 2020 as a good budget option and it's still going strong, not had any issues at all.

Looks nice, I also have an MSI monitor but a curved 34UW. Works and looks great!

3440x1440 is something else been using my new msi one for 6 months now and it’s amazing. Got it for about 400$ but I am temped to get a OLED one at some point.
